| Description | The majority of these letters relate to the adminstration of property in Somerset in the possession of the Galton family, particularly at Taunton and Yatton and is the predominant theme in the sequence of letters from Elizabeth Galton and Joseph Gifford, who appears to manage property on behalf of Edith Galton. This section also includes letters from James Farmer and from Samuel Galton; these chiefly concern John Galton's role in the supply of iron for the Farmer & Galton gun manufacturing business, and the transportation of goods. |
